Each ninja starts from the bottom and start their training as an Academy Student. From there they develop abilities akin to that of demigods as they grow in age and experience.

Along the way they gain new friends (or enemies), take on jobs and complete contracts and missions for their respective villages where their training and skill will be tested to their limits.

The sky is the limit as the blank page you see before you can be filled with countless of adventures with your character in the game.

Soragakure.jpg

The three main settlements of Wind Country - Sunagakure, Soons Haven and Soragakure - each exist for a very specific purpose. Sunagakure provides the nation with much of its militaristic strength, specializing in a mixture of the enigmatic arts of chakra and a study of martial prowess that produces many of the dominion's most highly-celebrated mercenaries and soldiers. Soons Haven functions as a mercantile and manufacturing center, containing some of Wind's most cutting-edge engineers both mechanical and structural, as well as being the home of the lauded Merchant Lords who protect what is theirs through a private militia force. Both of these fiercely proud villages are defended by steel, determination and the very elements in which they have been founded, bear allegiance in some way or another to the third - Sora.

Sora functions as the home to many of Wind's powerful lords and nobles, and as such provides both reason and means for its own existence. A powerful trade capital in its own right but not nearly as much so as Soons Haven, Sora is the single largest society upon Wind's easternmost shores, Sora is also the oldest village, predating Sunagakure and and Soons Haven by quite some time. Sora was originally a small fishing society for the first agrarian tribe and in fact one of the oldest families of this tribe holds the mantle of power over this community. As such, Sora's roots grow deep and strong in Wind's dusty soil. Benefiting not only from this advantageous positioning in regards to business exporting and importing goods from around the known world, Sora also has what could be described as the most stable, temperate climate; with Wind Country's ever-present sun, cool winds blowing in from the sea and naturally deep harbors, as well as an exotic culture rising from the mixture of many different systems of belief, cuisine and craft, Soragakure is a popular vacation resort and an even more popular home for those with wealth and influence, bringing the village much of its funds through these two concerns alone.

As mentioned, many of Wind's oldest and most influential noble houses and clans can draw their roots back to Soragakure, making the village the center for Wind's high society as well as the beating heart of the country's government and bureaucracy. Many of Wind's most vital decisions are made here by the ruling Council of Elders, but even these men and women hold fealty to one individual. This is the nation's Daimyo.


The Daimyo
The position of Daimyo has been a consistent one throughout Wind's history, from Sora's earliest roots as a simple fishing village to its modern-day vision and scope. The Daimyo holds authority over all nobility in all of Wind, and exists as a position which is either inherited or bestowed upon individuals considered to be worthy by the passing Daimyo. As such, many families have rested upon the throne of Wind, and vying for the attentions of the Daimyo in the hopes that you or one of your relatives be granted the prestigious position is an ever-constant source of political intrigue in Sora.

The Daimyo holds dominion over all of Wind; while the Kazakage in Sunagakure and the Grand Council of Merchants in Soon's Haven both serve to govern their own settlements and its people, they exist by the Daimyo's decree and approval. These villages may hold some ownership over their people, but it is the Daimyo that owns the land beneath their feet. This is a source of tension for some who desire freedom beyond the Daimyo's decree, but physical altercations have always left these isolationists scattered to the sands in the face of the might of the country's varied military. However, Sunagakure has for decades claimed itself to be a sovereign state, citing that they are the reason for this nation's freedom and some even going as so far as to suggest that the Sunahoshi with their blessing would be better suited for this position of authority. This consolidation of power to a militant community coupled with the loss of prestige and authority for these ancient families was considered unthinkable by such families.


Culture<i></i>
There are two major segments of Sora, with a third spanning the two with less defined borders. The poorest of those living within the village are housed by the docks, where the largest ships in the nation are also found. The Trade District spans both this and the Royal District, as the village slowly crawls up the great cliff overlooking the eastern sea. In many ways, the rich of Sora truly are hidden in the sky, for few not of the ruling families are allowed access into this section.

Sora's culture is a melting-pot thanks both to its age and its function as a trade center, and yet in strict defiance of the somewhat insular noble houses. This is no more prevalent than in the docks, where shoulders from all corners of the known world are rubbed together in business, home and family. The architecture of Sora is eclectic and favors organic shapes of earthen hue, but the march of progress stops for no city planner or designer, and electricity has brought both florescent lighting and a tram network to its streets. Greenery is also encouraged within all three boroughs, and it is said that this mixture of pale sand, blue sky and sea and the foliage of countless trees, bushes and gardens is something that one will always miss should they choose to leave the village.


Defense
The vast bulk of Sora is protected by a militia, with one member of every family being conscripted for a period of three years before being given the opportunity to remain as a career. While trained and disciplined, they are a step below the Shinobi of Suna or the commissioned private forces of Soons Haven respectively, and so in order to protect the most important members of the village, the Diamyo has a private force of his own known as the Sovereign. This personal army has been a secret known to only a few, such as the Oracles who have recorded this event as they have every event in their great tomes. While rumors have circulated about the dark and fierce power of the Sovereign, no validated accounts have been made publicly accessible.

By no means as numerous of those found within Sunagakure, Sora forces are on a very high skill level. It is not unusual for a Sunan shinobi to be headhunted by a Soran noble house for private employment, but situations in which these offers are accepted are few and far between due to the loyalty many feel towards their home village. Regardless, however, Soran nobles have managed to create their own methods of tutoring prospective guardians and have been doing so for generations. The true number of these shinobi is unknown, thanks largely to the secrecy veiling their existence and the controversy surrounding their operations, but the raw talent of these few elite are thought to exceed the downsides of their limited numbers.


Dominion
The exercise of the authority held by Sora and the Daimyo is one that varies depending upon who holds the position of the latter. In times past, Daimyos have become very overbearing and controlling over their vassal villages, demanding input and control over many aspects of the Sunan and Soons Haven governance, but the last few of those to take the seat have adopted a more relaxed approach, citing that each village must grow strong by their own means and according to their own limitations, else Wind be propped up on Sora's single bough. Since the time Sunagakure claimed sovereignty from the Wind Diamyo, Sunagakure has been the the most part isolated. Two years after such a claim was made, the storms came which separated Sunagakure from the rest of the country. The natural apartheid kept Sunans with theirs while Sora and Soons continued to flourish and grow.

Sovereign Academy
Little is publicly known about this Academy besides the fact that it is an education facility that is located in Sora, the capital of Wind Country and that their graduates become a part of the Damyo's private army. The Soverign Academy is not considered a particularly prestigious school and their workings have fallen beneath the notice of the average civilian. There is no application for enrollment as it is by invitation only, this being the only fact that has ever garnered an outsider's interest because exclusion seems to carry with it the promise of 'something special.' What is taught and learned here is not publicly accessible and even rumors are limited regarding this facility, while the Oracles would have the greatest cache if information regarding the Soverign even they are limited to what has already been mentioned.

The Truth
The truth is, the storm as a consequence for Sunagakure's offense against the Diamyo. The Sunahoshi were a dying breed and while Daisuke was a powerful man in his own right, he was unprepared for a personal-level betrayal. On a personal mission to improve relations after they were marred by Sunagakure's independent stance, he was poisoned. He was not killed within the walls of Sora or Soons Haven but rather in the desert itself by an early representative of the Sovereign Academy. When Sunahoshi Daisuke died, his body was the property of the Sovereign, in a dark technique known only to Dark Sages one would have thought but the Sovereign have a rather unusual skill set that had gave them skills similar and drastically limited but the duration and independence unparalleled. Daisuke's body once resurrected could only be given one set of instructions: to create a diamond maelstrom as powerful and great as he was capable of manufacturing and to defend himself if he was attacked. With no end scenario or additional clause, that is exactly what Daisuke did for decades in the desert. Continually command the storm, and the raging diamond sands until he met death a second time. The maelstrom stopped and that could mean only one thing: Daisuke was destroyed utterly and now the Sunans were free to roam.

The Diamyo was of course prepared for this eventuality and has called upon the Sovereign. The Sovereign.
